Okay, the riders have moved on the board and are ready to stop the production of the Helheim fruit. Lives are at stake but can Kane and Daisuke have the guts to kill an Advance Inves who knows if not then Kenji will put more work into it. Now let the story start!

-

Helheim

On Helheim, Kenji decided to take Kouta's offer to train and was seen by a bunch of elementary Inves.

Kouta: Okay, are you ready?

Kenji: I wouldn't be standing here if I wasn't.

Kenji pressed the button on the side of the Lockseed as it opened.

Lockseed: Banana!

Kenji: Henshin!

Kenji then plugged the Lockseed into the Sengoku Driver before closing the lock. A zipper opened above Kenji as a large metal banana floated out of it.

Sengoku Driver: Lock on!

Kenji then ran a hand through his hair before grabbing the sword on the Sengoku Driver before slashing the fruit on the Lockseed.

Sengoku Driver: Come on! Banana Arms! Knight of spe~ar!

The banana dropped onto Kenji's head as a red bodysuit formed on him. The banana unfolded forming armor as a spear that looked like a peeled banana appeared in his hand. Kenji was now Kamen Rider Baron and readied his spear.

Kouta then looked at the Elementary Inves and snapped his fingers and they all charged at Baron. A red Elementary tried to claw Baron but the Kamen Rider sidestepped the attack before stabbing the Inves through the chest with his spear.

Baron: That's one down......

Baron then hears something behind him and sees a blue and green Elementary trying to sneak attack him behind only for Baron to whip around quickly before striking the Inves in the face with the butt of his spear. Baron then kicked the Inves in the chest before thrusting his spear into its chest and slamming it into the ground.

Baron: That's two down......

Kouta: I see that you improved Baron but now I am going to up the ante.

Kouta then picks up Helheim fruit and turns it into a Lockseed and then throws it towards a red Elementary which then ate the Lockheed and turned into a humanoid bat monster.

Kouta: Now it's an even playing field.

Baron: Alright, maybe this one won't die as quickly!

Baron and the Inves lunged at each other as Baron readied his spear while the Inves readied his arm blade. The Inves swung its arm blade at Baron, who blocked it with his spear. Baron deflected the arm blade before stabbing the Inves in the chest. The Inves stumbled backwards before quickly lunging at Baron once again. The Inves slashes Baron across the chest, sending the Rider sprawling across the ground.

Baron: I actually felt that one, alright let's go!

Baron charged at the Inves again as he grabbed the sword on the Sengoku Driver before performing one slice.

Sengoku Driver: Banana Squash!!

Baron's spear was charged with energy before he thrust it into the Inves chest, leaving behind an energy banana. The Inves lunges forward and slashes Baron across the chest again, but the Rider quickly recovers before performing another slice with the sword on the Sengoku Driver.

Sengoku Driver: Banana Squash!!

Baron jumped into the air as yellow energy surrounded his foot in the shape of a banana. Baron kicked the energy banana in the Inves's chest, causing it to explode. Baron landed on the ground before removing the Lockseed, undoing his transformation.

Kenji: I appreciate you letting me train here Kouta, but if I'm honest, the fights aren't as dangerous when the Inves aren't actually trying to kill you.

Kouta: I am sorry you feel that Kenji but please understand that steps are necessary. So far you have managed to take down advanced Inves but never in their evolved forms. So far I am just preparing you for the advance ones now. Evolve will come in time but right now take a break you earned it.

Kenji: I get it, I guess it's just kind of weird to be fighting something that in most scenarios would try to kill you, instead of just being a sparring partner.

Kouta: I see well it may be weird but you are prepared. Anyway, since you've been working so hard I am giving you a bit of a power-up.

Kenji: Power up? I mean I appreciate it, but is it necessary?

Kouta then picks up a fruit that turns into a Lockseed but this one was a kiwi. Kouta then throws it to Kenji who catches it. Kenji then looks the Lockseed over before putting it away.

Kenji: I'm assuming that this Lockseed will give me access to a different weapon?

Kouta: Correct. This one will help you out in case things get too heated. Now, I suggest you answer the call that is about to happen.

Kenji was about to ask him what he meant when he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. Kenji took it out and groaned when he saw it was his sister.

Kenji: How am I even getting reception on another planet?

Kouta: Oh just some old tech that was left from a battle I had years ago. How do you think I got up to date about what happened to earth?

Kenji groaned before answering his phone and holding it up to his ear.

Kenji: Yes Momo?

Momo: Kenji where are you? It is getting late, so you should be home by now.

Kenji: Would you get off my back? I'm at the gym okay? Sorry I'm trying to stay healthy!

Momo was silent on the phone for a bit.

Momo: I see, just please get home safely.

Kenji: Like anyone in that house would give a damn if I did or not......

Kenji then ends the call and looks angry until he feels Kouta's hand on his shoulder.

Kenji: Sorry, personal problems.......

Kouta: I am sorry for the pain you are having. If you want to talk about it I am willing to listen.

Kouta said very sincere to Kenji.

Kenji: I appreciate the concern, but I'm not big on opening up to people. I'm used to people not giving a damn.

Kouta: I understand Kenji but still if you change your mind. Anyway, I got some good news from Nobu.

Kenji: Did he finally figure out there's more to life than computers and genetic theories?

Kouta then chuckled but shook his head no.

Kouta: Not yet I am afraid but he has finally created that Lockseed that would help transport you and the rest back to Helheim to escape.

Kenji: At least the others won't have to rely on me using Rose Attacker. Speaking of I need to fix my dirt bike so no one puts two and two together if they catch me on the thing.

Kouta: Good call also remember I am always here to talk.

Kenji: I know, and I appreciate that.......

Kenji then summons Rose Attacker and then heads back to earth.

Homeless shelter

Back on earth in Musutafu in the lower areas of the city. Kane and Daisuke are seen feeding the homeless.

Kane: Thanks for inviting me, Daisuke.

Daisuke: No problem after what happened yesterday I thought taking you here and helping the homeless you gain some sense of stability.

Daisuke said as help passed out the food.

Kane: I really need to do this after what happened at the Science Center.

Kane said, whispering that part about the Science Center which Daisuke nodded.

While the two pass the food to the homeless Daisuke and Kane start to hear some gossip from the homeless.

Homeless Man 1: Hey, did you hear?

Homeless Man 2: Heard what?

Homeless Man 1: About someone selling a miracle product to let quirkless have quirks.

When the homeless man said that Daisuke and Kane both became shocked but kept working while also listening in on the conversation.

Homeless Man 2: Really, where can you find this miracle fruit?

Homeless Man 1: I heard you can find it in Hosu City.

Homeless Man 2: I see how much for that miracle fruit?

The other homeless man smiled and told him the good news.

Homeless Man 1: It's free. They are passing that fruit out and I heard that they will be distributing it soon.

The homeless man said that both Kane and Daisuke did not like the news.

Daisuke: We got to go to Hosu.

Kane: I will call Nobu you call Kenji got it?

Daisuke nodded and he and Kane then finished their shift and called the others.

Musutafu University

In the Musutafu University Nobu was seen checking the data he collected for the Lockseed he created and dubbed the Gate Lockseed.

Nobu: Alright, if I infused the supplies Kouta gave me, it should be able to open a gateway to Helheim.

While checking the data he gets a call and looks at the number and sees it was Kane.

Nobu: He better have a good reason for interrupting my work.

Nobu then answers the call.

Kane: Hey, Nobu we found a possible lead for the Helheim fruit. Me and Daisuke found out it is going to be distributed in Hosu.

Nobu: That sounds like an issue you will have to handle, I'm currently busy with an important project right now.

Kane: I see well if things get hot will call see yeah Nobu and also Nobu just giving some friendly advice try to interact more with people in the future as well as leave the lab.

Nobu: I'd rather not, I might end up with your intelligence if I did.

Kane: Okay, ouch and again just saying bye.

Kane then ended the call and Nobu went back to looking at the data.

Nobu: Interrupting my research for pointless human interaction, there's no time for other people when there is research to be conducted.

When Nobu said that he got another call and looked at it and saw it was Professor Shield. Nobu then answers it.

Nobu: Hello Professor Shield.

Professor Shield: Oh thank god you're okay Nobu. I thought you were or god knows I pray not dead.

Professor Shield said very worried for Nobu.

Nobu: I fail to see your concern, I'm quite safe at the university.

Professor Shield: Nobu...Look I care for you. You are an incredible student at the university. Not only that you made it so far even with the same challenges as me.

Nobu: Is this about what happened at the presentation? I got lucky, those fruit-themed warriors came in and defeated the biggest threat in the room.

Professor Shield: Nobu they killed a man even when he went on a rampage he didn't deserve to die for the quirk to not work properly.

Nobu: I suppose I should have expected that type of response, I was foolish to believe otherwise.

Professor Shield: Nobu please understand taking a life is not a simple matter. It is a great offense. Who are we to decide who lives and dies?

Nobu: We'll then answer this Professor, what if that subject's rampage had not been stopped? How many innocent people would have died before a Professional Hero could arrive and restrain them? On top of that the fruit was still experimental, so there was in no way a guarantee that the subject could have been cured.

Professor Shield was silent for a moment and gave her answer.

Professor Shield: I understand Nobu but the laws have been placed for this type of matter. I understand lives would be saved but at what cost? Your freedom and what you hold dear.

Nobu was silent as he looked over at the Sengoku Driver and Lemon Lockseed. While Nobu would never admit it, for the Professor to essentially call him scum, even unknowingly, hurt him deeply.

Nobu: So that is your answer? That one life should be valued over hundreds, thousands even! You know Professor, I enjoyed our chats, truly I did, but it seems I was right other people are a waste of time....

Professor Shield: Nobu wait! Please don't-

Nobu then ends the call before tossing his phone on the desk and removing his glasses before standing up and throwing an empty beaker across the room, causing it to smash against the wall.

Nobu: It appears even a man of science such as myself will give into his baser instincts, how unsightly. Me, be hurt by simple words? When did I start caring?

Nobu then grabbed his glasses and went back to work on the project he was finishing up.

Hosu City

On a train ride to Hosu Kane and Daisuke were seen waiting for the train to stop.

Daisuke: Okay, Kenji said he will be able to get to Hosu in half an hour so we will be on our own for a bit.

Kane: Let's hope we don't fight an Advanced Inves or we are fucked.

Daisuke: We can only hope man, we can only hope.

Kane and Daisuke then hear their stop and got off the train and start heading into the city.

Kane: Okay let's start from the middle area of the city then the lower parts.

Daisuke: Got it.

Daisuke and Kane then started walking and went on the hunt for the Helheim fruit.

30 minutes later

After checking the middle part of the House City Kane and Daisuke were now in the downtown area hoping to find the Helheim fruit.

Kane: Middle part of Hosu is over now for downtown.

Daisuke: Yep, hopefully, it will be much better.

Kane nodded and both head off the downtown area.

When Daisuke and Kane were in the farthest part of downtown Hosu a lot of people were seen crowding a building which made them curious. Kane then decided to approach one of the people in the crowd about what was going on.

Kane: Hey, pardon me, why is everyone crowding a building?

Kane asked the crowd member.

Crowd member: Didn't you hear someone is giving away a fruit that can give you a quirk for free.

Kane: Really?

Crowd member: Yeah, really I mean this is the best day of my life. I won't be looked down upon by others just because I don't have a quirk.

Kane and Daisuke looked at each other as their worst fear had come true. All these people waiting in line for the fruit are quirkless.

Kane: Shit, this is bad.

Daisuke: These people don't know what they are agreeing to.

The roar of a motorcycle engine was heard as Kane and Daisuke turned to see Baron riding towards the crowd on Rose Attacker. The Rider rode through the crowd as they lunged out of the way of him. Baron brought Rose Attacker to a stop in front of the building before getting off and looking at the crowd.

Baron: Isn't this a sight, we have a whole platoon worth of nobodies lining up for free handouts that could change their lives. How stupid can you be?

Angry crowd goer: Hey, this fruit can fix us! We can all be normal!

Baron looks at the crowd with a deadly stare.

Baron: You see that's the problem, you expect success to be handed to you without a price! Remember what happened to that one poor sap on the news? He ate one of those fruits and became a feral monster! Don't you get it, success isn't free, there's always a price.

Scared crowd goer: How can we be successful! Life as a Quirkless is never easy!

Baron: I'll let you in on a little secret, I'm Quirkless. All things considered, I think I've done well for myself.

When Baron said that the crowd was shocked.

Crowd Goer: Wait you don't have a quirk?!

Baron: Nope, don't have one. My power is something I earned through hard work.

When Baron said that everyone turned to each other and then started to walk away from the building.

Baron: Well that went better than I expected, I didn't even have to intimidate anyone.

While the crowd started to disperse, Daisuke and Kane walked over to him.

Kane: Well shit Baron you actually stopped a global threat by your actions and words. I will say we may not get along but I can respect you for saving these people.

Baron: Shut up Boy Scout, sometimes all people need is a strong figure. I didn't do it to save them, I did it so they would stop being pathetic. Although this was risky on my part, a few pro heroes are probably on their way right now.

Kane: Shit things can never be easy.

Daisuke: No they can not.

Baron: Don't lose your heads, you're still civilians, as long as you don't transform I'll be their only target.

Kane: You sure? We talking pros here man.

Baron: You remember what Kouta said, a pro hero doesn't stand a chance against an Advanced Inves, but we do. I think I'll be fine, might even knock them down a few pegs.

Daisuke: Well good luck with that because I think we got company.

Daisuke then points to a far away figure with the sound of an explosion coming towards them.

Baron: It must be my birthday, I've always wanted to knock that bombardier prick down a few levels, looks like this is my chance!

Kane: Well this is where we part ways Baron.

Baron: Just leave Boy Scout, I'd rather not have you two here when I'm about to have one of the single greatest moments of my life. We

Daisuke: You really hate Pro Heroes don't you?

Baron: Hate is too strong of a word, resent? Yes. Think they're too high and mighty? Absolutely.

Daisuke: Okay, also good luck man.

Daisuke and Kane then leave the scene and once gone the explosion got louder and Baron then sees a blond man wearing a black mask with military armor and orange x on his chest plus having some gauntlets on his arms and grenades.

Baron: We'll if it isn't Pro Hero, Dynamight. What do I owe the pleasure?

Dynamight: Okay asshole you are coming with me after the stunt you pulled at the fucking Science Center! Give up while you can and I don't have to break your bones!

Baron: That's what this is about? Maybe if you were better at your damn job, I wouldn't have needed to step in! That thing was going to kill people!

Dynamight: Still you took a life that is unforgivable!

Baron: More like I killed a walking corpse.......

When Baron said that Dynamight got angry and activated his quirk and aimed it at Baron.

Dynamight: AP Shot: Auto-Cannon!

Dynamight rapidly fires concentrated explosions which Baron grabs the sword on the Sengoku Driver before performing 3 slices. 

Sengoku Driver: Banana Sparking!!!

Baron stabs his spear into the ground, causing a bunch of energy bananas to sprout out of the ground in front of him, blocking the attack.

Dynamight: Oh so you can handle that, how about this!

Dynamight uses his explosion and tried to tackle grab Baron which Baron tries to slash him but misses as Dynamight changed mid-air with his explosion to get behind Baron.

Dynamight: AP Shot!

Before Dynamight could fire Baron quickly grabs the sword on the Sengoku Driver before performing one slice and reversing the hold on his spear.

Sengoku Driver: Banana Squash!!

Baron's spear glowed with yellow energy as an energy banana shot out of the spear, hitting Dynamight in the chest. Dynamight was then sent flying back and hit the ground holding his chest.

Dynamight: AAAHHH! You fucking bastard! Do you understand that you killed someone!

Baron: I was there, I assure there was no humanity left in the Inves......

Dynamight, still in pain, looked confused when he said Inves. Suddenly, something was heard from the building which Baron turned around and got ready. Pop

Baron: Speaking of, it appears we have company.

Suddenly the door to the building broke and Advanced Inves came running out of it.

Byakko Inves: AAAAAHHHH!!!

The Byakko Inves screamed which Baron knew that sound.

Baron: Looks like another person has died to the fruit, well I better end this before it can hurt any more people.

????: STOP IN THE NAME OF JUSTICE!

Baron turned around to see a man shirtless with red hair and gear like armor and then another man with blond hair and electric style gear.

Baron: Well isn't this a party.......

Chargebolt: Hands up banana man!

Red Riot: Yeah or we will peel the hell out of you!

When Chargebolt and Red Riot said that Dynamight was like really.

Baron: I'm afraid I already beat you to the punch on that one.

Baron held up his spear to prove his point.

Chargebolt: Oh...

Red Riot: Okay, I will be honest it sounded cooler in our head.

Baron: So I'm assuming you're here to stop me from destroying this Inves right?

Red Riot: What in the world is an Inves?

Chargebolt: I think he is talking about that green person with the monster quirk?

Baron: Correct, give yourself a prize captain obvious! Looks like frying your own brain on a consistent basis didn't kill all your brain cells!

Chargebolt: HEY!

Chargebolt then gets angry and points his sharpshooting gear at Baron and fires a disk at him.

Baron: How predictable.....

Baron rolled out of the way of the device before lazily standing up while resting his spear on his shoulder.

Chargebolt: What! I missed it!

Baron instead of responding sits down on a nearby wooden crate before looking at the two pro heroes.

Baron: If you want to subdue that Inves, be my guest. I won't interfere.

When Baron said that the Byakko Inves roared again and started trashing the streets.

Chargebolt: Oh crap we need to stop that person!

Red Riot: Got it!

Red Riot runs towards the Byakko Inves and uses his quirk to harden his body and punches him it but the Inves doesn't feel it.

Red Riot: What?!

Red Riot was then backhanded by the Inves and crashes through a car.

Chargebolts: Riot! Okay, buddy no more Mr.Nice guy!

Chargebolts fires 5 disks at the Inves then points his fingers and shoots electricity at them the disks are then electrified and hit the Inves.

Chargebolt: Direct hit!

Chargebolt said with a smile which then faltered as it still didn't affect it.

Chargebolt: You gotta be kidding me.

The Inves then looks at Chargebolt and changes at him. Chargebolt then decided to no longer hold back. When the Inves got closer he used his full power on it.

Chargebolt: Indiscriminate Shock 2 Million Volts!

Chargebolt then releases a large amount of electricity to shock the Inves which could be seen far away. Once Chargebolt was done he started to act stupid and had his thumbs up. Though unfortunately for him the Inves stalked towards him as it raised its claw to finish the pro hero off. Red Riot tries to get up but couldn't as he was too hurt from the Inves attack and tries to tell his friend to run.

Red Riot: DENKI!

Before the claw could connect however, it was blocked by a familiar spear. Protecting Chargebolt was none other than Baron.

Baron: Sorry, but I'm not letting you kill anyone!

Baron thrust his spear into the Inves's chest, causing it to stumble backwards. Baron then turns to face Chargebolt before grabbing him by the back of his collar and walking him over to Red Riot.

Baron: Watch your idiot friend will you?

Red Riot was speechless but nodded.

Baron then turned to face the Inves as he spotted a news helicopter out of the corner of his eye.

Baron: News crews in this city sure work fast. Now let's see what this new Lockseed can do.

Baron removed the Banana Lockseed from the Sengoku Driver as the Banana armor burst off of him, leaving him in only his bodysuit.

Sengoku Driver: Lock off!

Baron then pulled out the Kiwi Lockseed before pressing the button on the side, causing it to pop open.

Lockseed: Kiwi!

A zipper opened in the sky above Baron as a large metal kiwi floated out of it. Baron then plugged the Kiwi Lockseed into the driver before locking it.

Sengoku Driver: Lock on!

Baron grabbed the sword on the Sengoku Driver before slicing the fruit on the Lockseed in half.

Sengoku Driver: Come on! Kiwi Arms! Geki! Rin! Sei-ya ha!

The kiwi dropped onto Baron's head before unfolding into armor as two large blades disk like weapons in his hands.

Baron: So this one gives me a pair of weapons? I can make this work.

Baron then looks at the Byakko Inves which growls at him and points its claw at him.

Baron: By all means, make the first move.......

The Byakko Inves then roars and charges at Baron but he does not move. The Byakko Inves kept charging at Baron. Baron throws both disk weapons as they fly towards the Inves. Baron runs after them as both cut the Inves on either side. Baron then delivers a flying kick to the Inves's chest before backflipping into the air and catching his weapons. Baron then flips back around to deliver a falling slash to the Inves's chest with the disk weapons.

The Byakko Inves then fell to the ground as it struggled to stand back up.

Baron: Well this is going to be easier than I initially thought......

The Byakko Inves got back on his feet as Baron grabbed the sword on the Sengoku Driver before performing two slices.

Sengoku Driver: Kiwi Au Lait!!

Baron readied his disk weapons as they glowed with green energy before throwing them. The disks flew towards the Inves before violently slashing it, causing it to explode. Baron caught the disks before letting out a sigh of relief.

Baron: Well my work here is done, have fun with the news crew heroes.

Rose Attacker raced towards Baron, who jumped onto it before riding off down the street.

Yaoyorozu Residence

After Kenji defeated the Inves he snuck back inside the house and got in his room and once in his room guessed who was waiting for him.

Momo: You got some explaining to do Kenji.

Kenji looked at Momo and was pissed at her.

Kenji: What did I do? Seriously I go out for the day and you treat me like this!

Momo: You were gone for 8 hours! I didn't see you in the morning and just found you today in your room at 10 pm. Where did you go?

Kenji: Why do you care? You don't even come home half the time with your job! Would you get off my case!

Momo: Kenji there is an armored man killing people and the last thing I need is to lose my brother.

Kenji: Oh so that's a problem now? Since when have you ever given a damn about me?! Every time mom and dad paid attention to you and forgot I existed? Some sister you are......

When Kenji said that Momo started to form tears and got out of the room, Kenji then slammed the door and locked it.

Kenji: Trying to act like you care, like hell you care....

Kenji then lay on his bed as he holds up and looked at the Banana and Kiwi Lockseeds.

END

KLigers98: Okay, well shit poor Nobu and Kenji. Fuck man I mean damn I feel the pain. Besides that, I am also impressed with Kenji. He can really speak sense to people. Plus, his skills are improving. Now the only I feel uneasy about is the Helheim fruit. They really know how to hide by a whisper of an ear. The death count is 2 and it will continue to grow if the Riders can't find the source. Anything to add to Tojamaru?

Tojamaru: Despite his attitude, Kenji has the makings of a leader just like the Baron before him. The issue however is that the other three all have their own personal hang-ups about their current mission. The situation will only grow more unpredictable and dangerous as time goes on.

KLigers98: All four of them must be in sync or Earth is going to end up the same way as Helheim and I don't want to see that shit again. Anyway, thank you for reading this chapter of My Hero Vigilantes: Return of the armored riders. Like, comment, and follow for more chapters. Ligers signing off.

Tojamaru: Until our paths cross again everyone!
